Still The One
Chapter 3
Lucky stared at Elizabeth with this mad look on his face. "You are going to fight for me now, when you walked away from me before. Why now Elizabeth? Why now?" he yelled.
"Why does it matter? I'm fighting for you now,"
Lucky walked over to the window. "I'm happy with Sam,"
"Are you really?" Elizabeth said, as she walked over to him.. " Does Sam know the real you?"
"Do you?" Lucky yelled. "Sam loves me faults and all. "
Elizabeth stared at him with this serious look on her face. "I love you no matter what,"
"No matter what," Lucky screamed with this angry tone in his voice. "You love me no matter what. You loved me so much when you sneaking back my back with Jason. You love me so much when you lied to me about Jake?"
" I was scared. "
"That's right. You were scared that I wasn't going stop using drugs if I found out that you slept with Jason and Jake wasn't mine. But I found out didn't I and I'm not on drugs, am I? Or do you think I'm lying?" Lucky yelled. "Do you want to look over the house? Do you want to see if I have any drugs? "Lucky yelled with this anger in his voice.
"Don't do this, Lucky." She said, as she grabbed his hand. He pushed it away.. "Don't do what? Don't tell the truth. I though that is what we were doing. I thought we are going to get everything out in the open. "
" Yes we are. " Elizabeth said, as she moved closer to Lucky. " I know that you are clean, Lucky. I "I know that I made mistakes,. She grabbed his hand. "Sit down with me."
He moved his hand away from her. "I don't want to sit down. Why Jason? Why did you go to his apartment that night? How could Jason be safer then I am?"
"I could ask you the same thing about Maxie? Why did you sleep with her?" Elizabeth asked. "She's like twenty. Did you really want drugs that much? Was your fix so important?"
"It wasn't the fix," Lucky said, as he looked at the window. He had never told anybody this, not his anybody this, and in a way he never told himself this. "I took the drugs because I wanted to forget about everything, I want to forget about how much a failure I was."
Elizabeth looked at him with this sadness in her eyes. "You're not a failure. Lucky."
"Not a failure, Elizabeth. Who saved you?" Lucky yelled. "It was certainly not me. I couldn't even save you. I couldn't save Jesse; I couldn't save you, the person that means the world to me. Do you know what that did you to me? Do you know how I felt to know that, Jason Morgan saved the day once again, but I couldn't and not only that, but I hurt myself trying to save you. The drug made me forget about everything, it made me feel whole again. Maxie was the one that was supplying it for me. It wasn't that I want to be with her, it was just that she could get me drugs. I needed it, I needed to feel like I could be your hero again," Lucky with this sorrow in his voice.
"You will always be my hero," Elizabeth responded. "You saved me when I needed you most, Lucky."
" That was years ago, I'm not your hero anymore."
"No, Lucky. You're my hero now. "
Lucky looked at with this upset look on his face. "Don't lie to me, Elizabeth. Don't do that to me. I know exactly what I am to you. You think that you still love me, but you love what I was before."
"No," Elizabeth shouted. "I love who you are. I love you, Lucky Spencer. "
"What about Jason? What about the man that you risked your own kids lives for?"
"You can't be serious?" Elizabeth yelled. "You know that I never once risk their life. "
Lucky stared at Elizabeth. "You risked their life every day. Look what happened to Michael?" Lucky yelled. "He was just a kid,"
"I'm not with Jason anymore,"
"No, Elizabeth, but you thought about it. I know why you are here because you realize that Jason was a bad choice for you, so you came to the safer choice, but Elizabeth, I don't want to be that."
"You're not that, Lucky." Elizabeth said, as she touched his face.
He looked at her. "Stop lying to yourself, Elizabeth. You know that is all I am to you. I'm the safer choice, I'm the person that saved you many years ago, and you wanted to have that back, you wanted to have the love that you were had before, but Elizabeth it's not there. We are not good together anymore," Lucky said, as he started to walk away from her. "We both lied and hurt each other too much."
Elizabeth walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "That is in the past, we need to move to the future,"
He turned around. " Future?" he yelled. "Two days ago, you wanted to be with Jason and now you want to be with me. You can't just do that to me, to us or to Sam." Lucky said.
Elizabeth sat down on the couch. "You wanted to know what happened, Lucky? Do you want to know why suddenly I want to be with you?"
"Yes, please,"
"I went to Jason's that night because I wanted to forget about everything, just the same way that you took the drugs to forget everything. I wanted to forget the look at your face when I walked in and you were with Maxie. I wanted to forget how much you had changed. I didn't go that night to have sex with Jason, I just needed to go see a friend. I called everybody but nobody was there. Jason used to be a friend of mine, I just wanted to go and see a friend who could help me see what to do next. Then the next thing I was sleeping with him."
"Elizabeth," Lucky stopped her from continuing. "I don't need to know this. "
"Yes you do, Lucky." Elizabeth said, as she continued her story. "I thought I was falling in love with Jason and then once I realize that I was pregnant with Jake, I was confused, Lucky. I wanted you to get better and if you thought that Jake was yours, I knew that you would, but then feelings started to happen, I thought that Jason was what I wanted.
Elizabeth stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. " He was a part of my life once. He helped me once, so I was hoping that he would help the emptiness that I had inside of me. I thought if Jason and I were together, I would forget about you. But I didn't. Then after Jake was kidnapped, there was a distant between the two couldn't stop think about you, even when I was with Jason."
"Elizabeth," Lucky yelled. "Why are you doing this?"
"I love you, Lucky. I want us to try again. I know that I lied to you about many things, but I 'm happy. I want to be with you. Jason was just a rebound thing for me. "
Lucky looked at Elizabeth with this look on his face. "You didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth of Jake? How can we be in a relationship? There has to be trust," Lucky responded.
Elizabeth turned to Lucky. "We will go and see a therapist, we will make this work. I love you with everything that I have. It's a permanent lock."
Lucky sighed as he remembered part of the vows that he and Elizabeth said at the church many years ago as teenagers. "Elizabeth, we are not teenagers anymore, we shouldn't be together just because that it is what feels right,"
"Are you not listening to anything I'm saying?" Elizabeth yelled. "I love you, Lucky Spencer, not the Lucky before the fire, not the Lucky from last year, but the Lucky that is standing in front of me right now, "she said, as she touched his face and leaned over and kissed him. "I should have fight for you harder last year, but I didn't, I gave up too quickly. I'm not about to do that now. "
Lucky stared at her with this confused look on his face. "I need time."
Elizabeth stared at Lucky. She grabbed her jacket and leaned over and kissed him. "Okay," she walked out of Lucky's house.

" Mom, I need your help," Lucky said, as he sat on the chair and looked at his mom. "I love Elizabeth, but I can't be with her, we just made too many mistakes in our life and then there is Sam, she's great. She likes me for who I am now, not what I was before. She's made mistakes in her life too and knows that it doesn't make you a bad person. I don't know what to do, I wish that you were here," Lucky said.
"Follow your heart,"
Lucky looked up and was shocked at what he heard. "Mom?"
"This can't be happening," Lucky said out loud to himself. "Your mom has been in and out of consciousness for the past few weeks."
"What?" Lucky said, looking at the doctor in front of him. "Your mom didn't want anybody to know, she wanted to be sure before she lets anybody know."
"Lucky…."
Lucky wrapped his arms around Laura. "You are really awake," Laura stared at Lucky. "You needed me,"
"I just can't believe it. "
Laura stared at her son, who looked so tired. "What's wrong, Lucky?" he asked.
"Nothing at all, "Lucky said. "You're here that is all that matters."
Laura stared at her son. "Follow your heart. Your heart will tell you what to do,"
Lucky stared at his mom. "I love you, mom. I miss you so much. I'm a dad. I have two wonderful boys."
"I bet you are a good dad."
"I want you to meet them," Laura then started to fall asleep. " Mom,"
Laura stared at her son. "I'm always here," she said, as she drifted off to sleep.
Lucky walked out of the room and walked up to the doctor. "Is she going to wake up again?"
"She sometimes stays awake for a few days or only an hour, "the doctor responded. " We don't know exactly why that happens."
I needed her that why, Lucky thought to himself as he walked away from the doctor. He knew exactly what he needed to do now.

There was a knock at the door, Elizabeth opened it. " Lucky," she said, with this smile on her face.
"Daddy," Cameron said, as he run towards Lucky. Lucky grabbed a hold of him.
Lucky stared at Cameron. "How about you go and get your new train set to show me?"
"Yay," Cameron said as he run towards his bedroom. Elizabeth stared at him with this smile on her face.
"Elizabeth, will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" Lucky asked. Elizabeth stared at him. " Lucky,"
"Do you want to go on a date with me or not?" Lucky said, with a grin. "Of course I do," Lucky grinned at her. "I'll pick you up on 7. This is us starting over, Elizabeth. We are going to do it right this time."
There is an epilogue that will be posted in a few days!!
